We'll get two more wins.

Seattle was ranked #1 in 2013 (wins SB) and ranked #3 in 2014 in turnover differential (another SB appearance)

So people hating on Smith for being risk adverse and undervaluing ball protection are implying they know more than Jimmy Johnson who said bad plays far outweigh the good plays. We currently sit at #1, I hope the trend continues.

Facts are facts, defense wins championships and it's up to the offense to be decent and not **** it up.

Hint: The offense isn't decent.

That would be some decent draft status and it would be the same as making the playoffs. We still would not be champs.

Look, until we start generating some consistent ****ing offense, we are going to luck our way to some wins, and get killed in the playoffs. This is on Alex and Andy...figure your shit out for ****s sake. We have "all the weapons we need" to get this shit done. GET IT DONE YOU ****IN PANTYWASTES! I'm so pissed at how inept our offense has been. You cant' keep putting pressure on this defense. Alex is where it starts and he better figure this shit out! ****!!

11-5 and crushed by the Squeelers in the WC

That was 2013. In 2014 we stared 7-3, shit the bed down the stretch and missed the playoffs.

I fear that today's game has doomed the Chiefs to another road playoff wild card loss. Such a shame.

And when those turnovers went away they have not been all that. Point is that you don't know when that well will go dry.
Carolina did not win the SB and where are they this year? The Saints won with a shit D that got turnovers but when that well went dry...well they haven't won shit since. If it was easy to make turnovers happen constantly consistently then teams would be able to rely on that stuff and repeat it season after season. It is just not the case.

Might have cost them a playoff spot.

I must now demote thee from wild card bye and subsequent victory / no AFCCG, to wild card loss.

The death throes are clearly upon your Quarterback of choice.

Depending on how Houston performs, it's crazy to think we could capture the 2nd seed with an 11-5 record...

If we are healthy (Maclin and Houston most importantly) nobody in the AFC including the Pats would want to face us.

Cowboys are going to be hard to dethrone tho... Dak and Ezekiel make the greatest rookie combo this league has ever seen.

It is way too early to think 11-5 gives anyone the 2nd seed. Too much football left.

We will know a lot more about the division after next week.

You may be right, especially if 7-3 turns into 7-5. Then a free fall ensues. Quite possible.

TB turned it over once today inside the redzone but that wasn't enough.
